In this episode of Last Date, I sit down with Eric Moreno, a two-step instructor in Austin, Texas, to talk about what dancing can teach us about attraction, confidence, and relationships.

Eric shares what he’s learned from years of dating within a close-knit dance community — including how to be honest about your intentions from the start, how to navigate breakups when you share the same social circle, and why maturity matters when dating in community.

We also discuss:

• Why being a good dancer is so attractive

• How attunement and presence make people feel safe

• The connection between dancing, confidence, and intimacy• How healthy couples handle jealousy

• Eric’s “secret” to dating attractive women over the years

• The concept of courage before confidence

• Why so many men avoid learning skills they aren’t instantly good at

• The importance of teachability: being willing to learn and willing to change

• Why authenticity matters — but so does becoming your best self

Eric also shares the story of a woman walking off the dance floor while he was learning to dance — and how that rejection became a great lesson.

This conversation is about attraction, growth, and why learning to move through discomfort may be one of the most underrated dating skills there is.
